A silly rule is still a rule.
And as DiapDealer said, the chances of any browser or ereader or any piece of code designed to render HTML NOT supporting it is... unlikely.
But if you want to conform to the spec and thus pass Epubcheck, you need to follow the silly rule. And if you want to submit an ebook to a store that
demands you pass Epubcheck, you gotta conform to the spec...

That just forces the renderer to use the right styling for em/strong/u/b (in case it had a different default for some odd reason) -- but the element itself is still going to get noticed and trip a silly error.
